Critical reception
At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 79, based on 11 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, calling it "Muldrow's most focused, funkiest, and (somewhat ironically) personal release to date." Matt Bauer of Exclaim! said, "Seeds strikes the perfect balance, as Madlib's thickly layered funk and soul samples and cabinet rocking beats pair with Muldrow's gloriously off-kilter vocals and free-form song structures to make this her most satisfying release to date."
AllMusic included it on the "Favorite R&B Albums of 2012" list.[5] Exclaim! placed it at number 31 on the "Top 50 Albums of the Year" list.[6] Rhapsody placed it at number 7 on the "Top 20 R&B Albums of 2012" list.[7]
